Yahoo! Mail has been around a very long time. The main difference
between Yahoo! Mail and many of the other online email programs is that
you are able to retrieve email from other email addresses using it on
top of your Yahoo! Mail email.

This is what I mean; When you
sign up for your Internet connection with your local Internet service
provider (ISP) you often get some email addresses to go along with it.
Using Outlook Express or another desktop type email program you can't
get your email when you are on vacation or at a friends house. Using
Yahoo! Mail you can. Sign up for Yahoo! Mail and enter the email
information from your ISP. Then you can retrieve your email from any
computer with an Internet connection just by going to Yahoo! Mail and
signing in.

Name
your account. This is whatever you want to call it. Call it "My email"
if you want to. Then click "Continue listed at the bottom of the bottom
of the page.

In the box where it asks for "Mail Server"
put the server name your ISP gave to you. It will look something like
mail.server.com or pop3.server.com .

In the box labeled
"Username" put the username you use to get your email from your ISP.
This may have been something you chose or it could have been given to
you.

Next put in your password. This was given to you at
the same time as your username by your ISP. It's usually something
personal that you chose yourself.

If you want emails
received from this email address to show up in Yahoo! Mail in a
different color then choose the color here. Then click the button that
says "Setup Mail Server".

Edit Yahoo! Mail Options

When
you get back to the page that has all your email addressees accounts
listed click on the name of the one you want to edit. Click the "Edit"
button. Editing the email address may be very important.

Look
down to the "Deliver To" box. You can put your emails from this email
address in another folder other than the Inbox if you want to.

See
where it says "Leave mail on POP server". This means that if you want
to read your emails on Yahoo! Mail but you still want to be able to
retrieve them on your other email program later you want to check this
box. If you are always going to read your emails on Yahoo! Mail and you
are never going to download them to another email program then uncheck
this box.

"Retrieve new messages only" is useful when
you have the "Leave mail on POP server" box checked. You've already read
yesterdays email but you still have it stored on the server so you can
download it to Outlook Express when you get home from vacation. You only
want to retrieve messages you haven't already downloaded and read.

"Use
filters" allows you to set up filters for certain messages. Say you
want all the messages from your mom to go to it's own folder. You can
set that up using the filter option that Yahoo! Mail also offers.

Click "Save changes" when finished.

Checking Your New Email

When
you're finished setting up your ISP email address on Yahoo! Mail you can
start retrieving it. Click on "Mail" in the menu at the top of the
page.

You'll see a box in the left hand column called
"Check Other Mail". In this box is the names of the ISP email addresses
you set up. Click on the one you want to check.

You will now be taken to your new emails. Click on the one you want to read and you are reading your ISP email on Yahoo! Mail.
